Selecting the right team members is not an easy situation - especially when you are a small or medium-sized organization that cannot hire as freely as they might want. In today's episode we are talking about how to plan for staffing and select the right people for your architecture/transformation teams with our guest, Ansgar Bittermann. Our topic this week touches on subjects that may be sensitive to our listeners, particularly around individual evaluation and potential. The research, research applications, and business applications of that research may be controversial, but we have decided to publish and share the discussion in the spirit of open discussion of difficult topics. We would like to invite you to contact us at [email protected] if you have other thoughts or positions on the content within, and we would be happy to publish an op-ed or compilation of community input on these subjects. We are talking about the following topics: Ansgar's background (he's well traveled) The process for selecting team members - especially as a small organization (up to 1000 people) Assessment Center vs. Testing, and other misconceptions Misuse of tests in the past and how to remove bias from tests Areas to look at for architecture/transformation teams: skills, cognition, attention span, personality, sociability, openness to new things Fitting tests to roles How Ansgar prepares his clients to read the tests (as non-psychologists) and does testing remotely How to lead people with higher awareness of the different type of persons Ansgar can be found on LinkedIn here: linkedin.com/in/bittermann.His podcast can be found at pocketguide.ai and his testing services at personio-partner.com.
